Sunday finished the first part of the state competition which started friday and went through sunday. We started our shoot on saturday at one o'clock and then all day sunda. Over three hundred shells per athlete were shot in those 2 days.
While we didn't receive any awards this year, here is how close we were:
Out of 290 athletes of all skill levels, Nick achieved the top 50% at a 124th position, Cruz reached 232nd position, and Jax reached the 297th position.
In their division, intermediate entry, which is younger than high school, and in their first year of shooting, Nick came in 2nd with a score of 168, just shy of top scorer by 18 broken clays. He beat out 29 other athletes. Cruz achieved the top 50% at 14th position, and Jax was at 30.
If you all include all intermediate divisions, which increases the athlete count to 80.Nick, at 19, was in the top 25%, Cruz at 54, and Jax at 79.
If you include all the athletes, non collegiate, which means not in college, a total of 275 athletes, Nick achieved 113th position, Cruz 218th position, and Jax 272
Out of 12 teams total in the intermediate entry division.We achieved 4th place just short of 3rd by 18 clays. We now wait till the 27th to shoot our next three hundred plus shells to finish out the state competition for sporting and trap.
